No portion of any document or other material
on this web site may be reproduced in any form or translated
into any language without the express written permission of
the copyright holder except as specified under
Permitted Uses, below.

An effort has been made to locate sources
and obtain permission where necessary for the quotations and
graphics used in all documents and pages on this site. To the
best of our knowledge and belief, all other materials are in the
public domain. However, in accordance with Title 17 U.S.C.
section 107, any copyrighted material contained herein for which
we have been unable to obtain publication permission is
reproduced herein without profit or
payment, as is provided for the purpose of non-profit research and education
only, and is reprinted under the
Fair Use doctrine of international copyright law.

Scripture Versions Copyrights

In all Scripture versions
quoted, out of deep respect for HaShem, I have taken the liberty
of capitalizing pronouns that refer to Deity, whether or not
they are capitalized in the original.

Scripture quotations
that are identified as my own or marked “literal” are the author’s own attempt at translation and should
not be considered authoritative. Upon occasion, the author has felt that a different translation of a word
or phrase better represents the original. In these cases the changed text is enclosed in [square brackets].

Please Report Copyright Infringement

In the event of any unintentional omission, appropriate acknowledgment
will gladly be incorporated in future revisions. If you find any copyrighted information on
this website that you feel we have used without proper permission and credit, please
notify us immediately so we may correct
the unintentional transgression.

NOTICE

In accordance with
Title 17 U.S.C., section 107, some material on this web site is
provided without permission from the copyright owner, only for purposes of criticism, comment, news reporting,
teaching, scholarship, and research under the "fair use" provisions of federal copyright laws. These materials
may not be distributed further, except for "fair use" non-profit educational purposes, without permission of
the copyright owner.

Permitted Uses

These materials may not be reproduced
electronically or “mirrored” on another website. They may be
downloaded to your computer and printed for your personal use, and they
may be reproduced on paper for your
personal and/or group study as long as the following conditions are met:

1. If reproduced for any reason, they
must be reproduced exactly “as is,” in their entirety, including all
footnotes, references, and copyright markings.

2. If reproduced for group study, they must be
distributed at no cost to the recipient beyond the
reasonable and actual cost of reproduction.

3. They may not be reproduced in any
form whatsoever, including electronic, for any form of profit.

4. They may not be copied to other web
sites. However, we welcome links to individual pages as long as they
are not contained in frames.

There are a few reasons why I feel it necessary to impose these restrictions.

First of all, as with all academic endeavors, a portion of the material I have
used in my teaching ministry is the copyrighted intellectual property of others who have generously
granted permission for me to use it, and their rights need to be protected as well as do mine.

Second, from time to time some who have disagreed with my conclusions and opinions
as presented in these materials have reprinted part of the materials, quoted me
out of context, and have distorted what I have actually
said so that it appeared that I said something quite different. All those who read my work have the right
to determine for themselves exactly what I have said and the context in which I have said it.

Finally, these materials are the product of many years of personal labor. I have
never received a salary from any church or school in which I have taught most of this material.
I have never made a profit on nor charged anyone for this information, and I certainly don’t expect anyone
else to charge for it. Most of this information is directly related to the interpretation and application
of the Word of God, and His Word is not for sale.

However, the Scriptures clearly teach that an Elder (Pastor/Teacher/Rabbi) is to
give himself as fully as possible to study, prayer, and the ministry of God’s Word, that it is God’s
plan for him to earn his living from that activity (Luke 10:7-8; 1 Cor. 9:14; 1 Tim. 5:17-18), and that those who benefit from his ministry are to voluntarily
and cheerfully provide for his financial support.

Except where otherwise specifically indicated,
the opinions expressed on this website are my own, are sometimes highly speculative in nature and
subject to differing interpretations, and rarely reflect the views or opinions of any other organization

only to be obedient to 1 Peter 3:15
and explain to you from the Scriptures what I personally believe and why I believe it. Whether or not you find
in the Scriptures what I find there, I will leave totally between you and Ruach HaKodesh.

Virtually every person will find something

In the event of my suspicious demise, let be clearly
understood that I am not suicidal. I have, however, received countless death threats from “moderate Muslims” in
response to the content of this website, and as far as I know there
are at least four outstanding fatwas against me. I now have reason to expect retaliation from my own government
as well. Here’s why.
